Wrong. I surf with JS off because of sites that use JS to collect information about me.

If it's available on the server, then sure that might be considered fair game. But using javascript (or any other client-side tool) to do what you should instead do server-side is abusing users (or their data).

Putting analytics inline so it's "not ad-blocked by a url request" is absolutely disrespecting users and a perfect reason to turn off javascript.
